A big, physical power forward with 596 career points in 884 games, is on pace for 30+ goals this year, while having 3 fights already this year. All of this after a season which he came back from a bad wrist injury. Analytics has blinded the common fan from reality. #LetsGoOilers

It’s crazy how @OilersNation will tweet out a video of Spector coming at Kane for him being a “drama bringer”, but won’t repost or even mention this beautiful tweet by Cecily. This is just unacceptable. The fans want fair & honest journalism, not sensationalism. #LetsGoOilers

Evander Kane is a better NHL player than Jake Debrusk, & I can’t believe this needs to even be said. The Oilers need to have Kane healthy going into next year, not dump him for salary cap reasons. You don’t just get rid of perennial 20+ goal scorers… #LetsGoOilers

Let me reiterate… Jack Campbell had a .961 SV% in 118 minutes for the Oilers last playoffs. His overall playoff SV% is .920, which is .39 better than Skinner’s (they aren’t even close). Bring Jack back, this has a classic redemption story written all over it! #LetsGoOilers

@JFreshHockey Tied for NHL lead in playoff goals in 2022, & scored 24 this year while playing through a sports hernia the majority of this year with minimal PP time. Still an elite forechecker & physical presence in playoffs. It’s funny how a perennial 20+ goal guy is disrespected by the nerds
